Manchester City eased into their tour of the US with a comfortable 4-1 win over Sporting Kansas City.

Defender Dedryck Boyata found himself on the scoresheet, putting City back into the lead with a crashing header just before half time as he bids to force his way into contention for a defensive spot next season.

The Belgian centre-half spoke of an emotional aspect of the game for him, plus his delight at signing a new two-year deal.

"We're all please we've all been working really hard for three weeks and happy to have won the game,." he said.

"I felt like an angel looking after me because my cousin passed away three weeks ago and that was his birthday, so it was a special day form and it was my little sister's birthday today so I think I had people looking at me.

"So that's an emotional dedication to them."

On his new deal Boyata added: "We all know I'm playing for City who are one of the biggest clubs so having the chance to stay here two more years, I'm really grateful to have been given this opportunity.

"I'm more than happy to be still with the team and to have the chance to play."
